I guess this is partly because many of us read English and, when they compare what is done in the open and also on the web elsewhere (e.g. on en.wikipedia.org as compared to de.wikipedia.org) to what is seemingly not happening so easily - for whatever reason - where most people speak German as their first language in public (not to give any description that links to concepts of "nation" because there are several regions, anyway) "these lesbians" might feel that they have to think up activities that might seem somewhat radical to people who do not live in the same region makes me think that maybe it is like bridging cultures, but without a bridge in a way, so we make them up ourselves or sort of try to, anyway ;-) taking intellectual approaches sometimes helps, maybe thanks & cheers, Claudia koltzenb...@w4w.net _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
